Did your old man regularly go out at night when you were a kid?

Dad: Yes but it more like staying late at CCL or going to Fairwayview in the late afternoon

No kids but I go out alone whenever i feel the need

Not really. For the most part my parents were home all the time when I was a kid. The divorced when I was 13 so it got crazy after that, but as a kid, it was basically a night at the grandparents once or twice a month and that was it.

My dad, never..

Me, on occasion.. but you still gotta be ready to fly the mothership to the ER on a moments notice when a kid pops a 104 fever

No. My dad wasn’t a drinker and was a at home every night. We lived in the sticks too so no friend ps coming over. He was also strict as hell. When I went to UGA though I went buck wild.

Me…I’ll go out once a month to see a buddy of mine in town, but that’s it. We drink around my kids though and I worry about what that might do to them.

Wasn't going to make the same mistake twice?

My dad did sometimes. Not regularly.

I wouldn’t say I do regularly, but definitely more than he did. Most of mine are to concerts though.

My mom and dad would go out to Cedarcrest Lounge on occasion when I was little. Not often.

By my teens they never went out unless it was a special occasion like retirement party or class reunions.

My dad drank beers at home after work in the back yard.

My woman and I (10 yrs together) don't go 'out' without each other. She'll go to a girls dinner or some gay shite at a sushi place a few times a year. They get drunk but home by 10pm. I'm the same here if a friend is in town. I'll go to Ivars with him and get shitcanned by 8pm.
And she's always invited and usually comes along.

Can’t blame him

Follow up question: If you’re married with kids, do you go out regularly and without the wife?

define “go out”. I go to a friend’s house at least once a month to drink and hang out without my wife. Going to a bar with friends is something that only happens a handful of times per year.

I drink at home plenty later at night. The only time around the kids is sometimes a few beers and cigar Sunday late afternoon on the patio watching an old LSU game or movie. Not necessarily “around” them but sometimes they’re about or swimming and stuff.
